'The Predator' Tops Box Office With $24M

'The Predator'
Tops Box Office
With $24M The Predator, the first film in
the franchise since 2010, crushed
its first weekend at the box office. The film brought in an estimated
$24 million in the U.S. and $30.7
million from foreign markets,
for a global total of $54.7 million. These debut box office numbers
are sure to help offset the cost
of the $88 million production. 'The Predator' made headlines prior
to its release when the studio decided
to cut a scene that featured an actor
who was a registered sex offender. The move appears to have had no
affect on the film's box-office performance. 'The Predator' received a C-plus rating on CinemaScore from domestic audiences. 'The Nun' came in at second place,
adding $18.2 million to its revenue. 'A Simple Favor' opened
in third place at $16.1 million.
